Topic: Client Helpers 0.8.1

I've now uploaded version 0.8.1 of the client helper libraries to the Google Code downloads page at http://code.google.com/p/indicia/downloads/list

Lots of bug fixes and improvements since 0.7.1. Here are some highlights:

  • New prebuilt forms for:

  • - long term monitoring projects in Luxembourg

  • - displaying a calendar showing site visits (report calendar grid)

  • - Set up of transects and transect sections sites

  • - Data input for transect/section based records

  • - A map explorer for exploring records on a map

  • - Significantly improved verification processes

  • - Colour marked bird recording

  • Improvements to client side validation for custom attributes

  • Sub_list control for building lists of items on a form

  • Calendar grid control for displaying dated report output on a calendar

  • Improved data entry & keyboard navigation on the species checklist grid

  • Support for cached versions of taxon tables during input making lookups faster and punctuation/spelling tolerant

  • Locking of controls during data entry so that the value does not need to be repetitively re-input

  • OpenStreetMap support.

  • Multimap support removed as service is no longer available.

  • Improvements to integration between report grids and map output.

This can be unzipped and copied over existing client_helpers folders for sites linked to a warehouse version 0.8.1.
